If you enjoy combining creativity with technical problem-solving and take pride in producing accurate, high-quality designs, this is an exciting opportunity to work on a wide variety of custom signage projects. You'll collaborate with a talented team and see your designs come to life through in-house manufacturing and installation.

Enjoy full-time employment with a well-established Ottawa company.
Opportunities to expand your technical knowledge and grow within the sign industry.

Position Overview

As our Sign Designer / Layout Artist, you'll create client proofs, sign layouts, and production-ready artwork for a wide variety of signage projects. This role requires more than graphic design skills; it requires an understanding of how signs are designed, manufactured, fabricated, and installed.

You'll work closely with our Sales & Estimating, Project Management, Production, and Installation teams to develop clear, accurate, and production-ready artwork that meet client expectations while supporting efficient production.

What You'll Do

Interpret customer requests, architectural drawings, site photos, brand standards, and project specifications.
Prepare artwork for large-format printing, vinyl cutting, CNC routing, laser cutting, and fabrication.
Ensure layouts are accurate, practical, and ready for production and installation.
Verify dimensions, scaling, colours, typography, materials, and production specifications before releasing artwork to production.
Revise artwork based on client and internal feedback.
Review artwork carefully to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with project requirements before release to production.
Collaborate with Sales & Estimating, Project Management, Production, and Installation throughout each project.
Maintain organized project files and follow established workflow procedures.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of design standards, workflows, and departmental processes.

What We're Looking For

Previous experience designing custom signage or preparing sign layouts.
Practical understanding of how design decisions impact fabrication, installation, and final appearance.
Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator.
Working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop.
Ability to prepare clean, accurate, production-ready artwork.
Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in a custom sign shop or large-format graphics environment.
Familiarity with architectural drawings, elevations, site surveys, and brand standards.
Experience preparing files for large-format printing, CNC routing, vinyl cutting, or fabrication.
Knowledge of sign materials, fabrication methods, and installation requirements.
Experience with CorelDRAW is considered an asset.
Knowledge of accessibility signage and municipal sign requirements is an asset.

Starting from $28/hour, based on experience
Paid vacation
